Chapter 144 Slime, Holy Light and I Are Already Married (10.4k, 15/76)_4
All this information was revealed on the forums by the "Mouse Eye" organization.
Meaning, even if players found the location of the "Netherworld Gate", wanting to directly challenge the dungeon still required multiple parties' consent.
However, under such circumstances, the quest "The Great Tree of Infinity" popped up.
God knows how happy those newbie players were.
Having never left Lancaster, they could not appreciate how harsh the outside world was.
But on the forums, many Africans had already started to wail; there were too many losers, and for a while, a large number of players surfaced, making the forums lively for a bit.
Some NPC's required them to complete tasks that could not trigger the system panel's rewards and failed to pay in Demon Crystals or item rewards after players completed the tasks. Some players busied themselves for half a month only to find it was all for nothing, akin to a gaming version of telecommunication fraud, now venting their frustrations on the forums.
Other players wanted to enter the Dungeon but found that many remote towns hadn't even heard of the Dungeon.
Some players managed a successful job transfer and, with the support of some factions, gained the authorization to enter the Dungeon, only to find that many factions didn't offer so-called daily quests.
The final result was, after their routine monster killing and leveling up, they still needed to spend a vast amount of time obtaining additional quests through other means, nowhere near as easy and streamlined as in the Lancaster Territory.
Theoretically, Lancaster should have had all the advantages.
But now Lancaster's biggest problem was that the monsters in the Dungeon were much stronger than they had imagined.
The majority of the newbies, even if twenty or thirty of them ganged up to attack a Shadow Wolf, were likely unable to hurt it.
Once the level difference between the two sides was high enough, lower-level players found it extremely difficult to inflict damage on these Shadow Wolves.
Average LV6 ordinary Shadow Wolf, average LV7 Two-headed Shadow Wolf, lowest LV8 Shadow Wolf Guard...
For the majority of players lingering at levels 1-2, it was indeed an unbearable pain.
Even the LV5 Corrupted Tree-man wasn't so easy to defeat.
Probably only the LV1-LV2 Huge Hoofed Deer, transferred out, were most suitable for newbie players to level up through monster hunting!
Huge Hoofed Deer: Please show some humanity!
Initially, they thought that mindlessly killing these monsters might be too boring, but they didn't expect Lancaster to arrange a new gameplay for them so quickly.
Across-the-border Dungeon clearing missions!
When this news came out, a large number of ordinary players who were exhausted from competing for Huge Hoofed Deer with other players in Newbie Village immediately changed their approach.
Why compete with you? We could just find other blue oceans, right?
With this thought, veteran players like Emperor Ha quickly organized a group of newbies, planning to personally lead the team to other territories.
After all, according to the official website setting, a Dungeon in a place like Lancaster, which had already been promoted, would obviously be harder than Dungeons in other areas.
Finding those border territories that had not yet expanded, and entering their Dungeons where the monsters had lower levels and more evenly distributed strength, could speed up their progression.
But now it seems...
Emperor Ha scratched his head, looked at everyone, and said, "These Slimes are more troublesome than we thought, but luckily I did some calculations and figured out that letting you progress by fighting them is way more comfortable than dealing with the Shadow Wolves."
Little Wen, sitting to the side and biting his fingernails, fell into thought:
"Actually, the best way to kill those Slimes is to catch them off guard. The Gluttonous Slimes are different from those low-intelligence Slimes in the games we played before.
They have their own language, a systematic social structure, and they even summon friends to help and cooperate, which is not so friendly for us if we lure them and then strike all at once."
Emperor Ha shook his head and said:
"Well, there's no other way. This is the simplest method to kill the Slimes, otherwise if we find one and then surround and hunt it down, the efficiency of monster killing is just too slow."
"So I was thinking, maybe we should try some more extreme methods..."
Pastoralist Little Wen's suggestion caught everyone's attention.
"What method? Tell us about it."
Bai Chuan of the Cat Ear Family, tying her hair in a ponytail, shook off the Slime mucus from her Magic Wand and curiously turned to Little Wen, saying:
"Let's hear it." As soon as she spoke, others also began to clamor.
Pastoralist Little Wen's face showed an embarrassed expression, as he stuttered and struggled to speak for a while.
Seeing him unable to speak, Emperor Ha slapped him on the shoulder hard and said:
"Why are you hesitating? Just speak up. If it works, it'll benefit everyone."
Pastoralist Little Wen still didn't speak for a long time, his face turning red, and finally, he blurted out a few words:
"There are girls here!"
Bai Chuan: ???
With those words, Bai Chuan immediately felt indignant. She tossed her ponytailed hair to one side and huffed:
"You boys aren't thinking of something dirty again, are you?"
